FRENCH fishermen have vowed a new "Battle of Trafalgar" as a man in a soldier's uniform was seen firing a musket towards the blockade around Jersey. The row over fishing rights between Britain and France has ramped up as two Royal Navy gunboats were deployed and a French navy vessel speeds towards the Channel Islands. Claude La Vaullée, a Norman skipper who has fished off Jersey for 40 years, told Ouest France that he and other fishermen had equipped their vessels to "re-stage the Battle of Trafalgar". Trafalgar was a famous naval battle during the Napoleonic Wars - which raged from 1803 to 1815 - that saw the Royal Navy defeat the combined forces of France and Spain. French sailors are furious as Jersey authorities rejected some applications for fishing licences in the island's waters - potentially costing them income. Some 70 vessels this morning moved to blockade the entrance to the port of St Heiler as Royal Navy vessels HMS Tamar and HMS Severen lurked nearby … [Read more...] about Jersey blockade – French fisherman vow new ‘Battle of Trafalgar’ as Brit ’19th century soldier’ OPENS FIRE with musket

FRANCE is threatening to cut off Jersey’s electricity supply in a row over access to fishing waters. It comes as a new post-Brexit law came into place on the Island on Friday, meaning french boats fishing off Jersey now need a special license from the Jersey government.

A SECOND schoolkid was approached in an abduction attempt just 500 metres from where a Line of Duty star's son was also targeted. The boy was told to go with a hooded man in a mask as played in Kelsey Park in Beckenham, South East London, on Friday. Thankfully he spooked the would-be kidnapper by shouting out to a pal - causing the suspect to flee. The boy, who was unharmed, later said he saw the masked man escape in a black van, the Evening Standard reports. Clare House Primary School head Jane Holland has now written a letter to parents warning them about the latest report. She said it had been reported to police and Year 5 and 6 will have an assembly over the horror. The headteacher added: "The child and some school friends were playing in the wooded area of the park when a man approached the child and told him to go with him. "He ran away immediately but the man followed him for a short time until the child called one of his friends and the man ran away.” … [Read more...] about Second child abduction attempt at park where Line of Duty star Sherise Blackman’s son, 11, was chased by two hooded men
